The Ford Road incident took place about 2 p.m. Tuesday after the homeowner took a delivery of a package from the U.S. Postal Service and left the home. Someone then forced open the front door of the home and stole numerous electronics, jewelry and cash.

A similar circumstance took place at the Geddes home when a homeowner took a UPS package and then left the home. The rear door to the home was forced open and electronics were reported stolen.

Fox said these are the only two recent incidents reported where a home invasion has followed a delivery of a mail package. He said deputies are still investigating to see if the incidents are related.

“We need to look into that a little more before we can confirm it’s related to delivery drivers,” he said.

Fox said it’s possible someone is following delivery drivers around and seeing where packages are delivered. He said a possible scenario is someone is following a truck, seeing if someone is home when a package is delivered and then breaking into the home if no one is around.

“We’ve just had a couple of them pop up,” he said. “We have to look at them a little bit closer to sort of make sure that’s the link.”

No suspect descriptions from the incident have been released at this point. The incidents are still under investigation.

Anyone with information on these incidents is encouraged to call the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office anonymous tip line at 734-973-7711 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).
